Synopsis
This collection of poetry by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E. H. Shepard has been delighting children and adults alike since being published in 1924. While dated, most of the simple, humorous poems remain magical and relevant to today's children. The book begins with an introduction entitled "Just Before We Begin," which introduces a narrator that might be Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is included in the poem, "Teddy Bear," which originally appeared in Punch magazine in February 1924.
Reviews
On Sep 17 2017, a reader said:
I read these poems as a child; probably my first book of poems. I loved them then for the whimisical and magical feelings the poems inspire as well as the simple humour a child can well understand and adults still appreciate. The creative imaginations of A. A. Milne will always be cherished in my heart and literary appreciation.
